TheManPregnant: Paying taxes and voting are civic responsibilities. Earning a living and healthy standard or living are not civic responsibilities. Disenfranchising people by any means can't be justified to be honest. If people have to spend so much to vote, their country better be paying them damned well. I'd have suggested a better and more secure means of voting but seeing how INEC managed to rubbish the recent elections despite all the planning and funding, It might as well be easier for pigs to fly than such innovations gain traction any time soon. Decentralisation is the answer. 1 Like |

TheManPregnant: Then it’s better Nigeria cease to exist. If you’re going to another region to live then permit is required. States like Lagos, Portharcourt, Kano should be made to contribute more to Federation account to help in investment in other regions. What played out in Lagos should give Non westerner a huge concern. Buying properties in the south west is a huge risk. |

TheManPregnant:Nigeria as a country can NEVER succeed because of the following: 1.Imposed constitution 2. Lack of COMPULSORY and continuous national birth and death registration which means no social security number (person number) 3. Federal character. 4. State of Origin We want development but we avoid things that developed people do. No be JuJu be that? Just imagine how stupid it will sound if anyone asks you for your state of origin in New York or London. |

ppogba: Well, I will not doubt you but I have been a member of this forum for years I feel it is like it is getting deeper everyday. I don't think this forum is the only forum. I have join some other ones I have not felt it this way. I think the way people are playing politics these days are the main cause of all these. I want to say that Seun should find a way of punishing people at least it will go a long way of solving most of these problems but if we keep on keeping quiet the consequences will be too much even the old people that started this will die and leave the younger people to face the situation. 1 Like |

Has anyone considered that rotational presidency to the south would not have gained a resounding momentum this time around if Buhari had not done a second term. Only Tinubu without much support from even his own base seemed to believe in what he was doing during 2019 elections, not that it made much sense at the time. Just a thought… 1 Like |

Afamed: I think this argument is stale. Let their regional leaders be. The issue here is the national cake. The other leaders in charge of the national cake are not doing any better. They milking the rest of the country. Nigeria must return to regionalism, that's the only way out otherwise the drums of civil war will start beating again. The international community will never allow a civil war therefore they will come up with another unworkable solution. Regionalism NOW. |

JagabanBorgu: Unfortunately for you, few Igbos know who Sulivan Chime is. Peter Obi has been a household name in Igbo land right from when he was governor and for many years doggedly combated those who wanted to ursurp his guber seat. If a Orji Uzor Kalu or Rochas Okorocha was in the position of Peter Obi during the last presidential election, most of the Igbo would not bother to register for voting, those who registered would have queued behind Atiku or Tinubu. |

Rotational Presidency is the best. It is already operational within states but when it comes to Federal level those who should know better come in with their party and shout Emilokan which forces Mr. A to come out too to represent his party when it is obvious even to the blind that it is the turn of the SouthEASTERNERS and to make this 5% group( other 5% if not 3.5% are SS and minorities) have a sense of belonging all candidates must be from SE Anyway the next in line will be Northerners(I guess NC NE)....We go see how dem go wan chance SS wen e reach our turn. |

SpecialAdviser:Igbo people will always rally behind someone they themselves called a failure after his 8 years tenure as governor without any visible legacy? And the current state of Anambra State he governed is a testimony? And that is not tribalism? But Yoruba people should not rally behind Tinubu who transformed his state within same 8 years and have produced a lot of great leaders in the country? His state is still the best state in the country today where even all Anambra indigines are running to. Supporting a tested and trusted achiever is tribalism?

How can you rally behind an old man making incoherent speech? If we give it to him to have done good in the past, you surely know that age is no more on his side. This is a fact you and I know. |

Kukutenla: Power rotation is the BEST.... No region has everyone as a dunce not even for highly intelligent Nigerians. 5 years single term so e go quick reach 'all d children of one Nigeria'. Resource control is important then, we all pay taxes to the Centre and for those who have some weak States among them eg SW, let the stronger ones( economically)like Lagos help the weaker ones( eg Osun, Oyo) after all they 'help' them during politics and we have been told that they can't be divided in anyway. Let Senators and all others ( Chairman, Councillors) run single 5year term. If states are practicing rotation why not at the Federal level. Resource control and REGIONALISM may even start soon if in other to keep Nigeria as one we all sit down and agree that Atiku rules the North(?).... Asiwaju the West( after all he is very familiar with his region)..... Obi rules the East.... And 3 others are picked to cover the other geopolitical regions. Not only one region ( or handful)will do open eye for the others. Resource control and REGIONALISM makes u value non indigenes in your midst since u will appreciate them for paying their taxes and helping to boost the economy in that region ( at least they will patronize locals there) as no reliance on oil money. Resource control and REGIONALISM will help regions develop their seaports which will put less pressure on Lagos seaport and help Lagos look inwards to replace the income coming from the Lagos seaports especially from non indigenes. |

lereinter:I don't think presidential vs parliamentary system is the problem. As long as there is autonomy for the subnational units (be they regions or states), attention will shift from the president/ prime minister to the governors/ premiers thus leading to a situation whereby people will be more interested about what happens in their states/regions of origin than in their states/regions of residence. 2 Likes |
